Hi David,
Did you find it effective with regards to the sub?
I am going to try and get a home demo next week.

I thought my sub sounded fine before it, which if I'm honest, it did. I think because it doesn't draw attention to itself I felt that the EQ wouldn't really have much effect. Wrong! While the sub doesn't reach any deeper with or without EQ, it sounds deeper with EQ because without it you are setting the sub's level based on the peaks in the response - so if you have a peak of 12dB at say 50Hz, you set the sub level based on that 12dB peak, so instantly, most other frequencies are 12dB down, which is noticeably quieter. So instead of the room issues masking the lower capabilities of the sub, you're suddenly hearing everything the sub is capable of doing, rather than a fraction of what it can do. I liken it to comparing a singer trying to sing with a cold and sinus problems to one who does not.
As soon as I have paid off the excesses of my movie and music purchases from December, I'll be adding one to my system
